Tl*the contact owns a 2001 jeep grand cherokee. When the contact started the vehicle, there was no heat coming from the vents located underneath the dashboard. The plastic vent doors are inoperable; therefore, cold air enters from the outside and freezes the windshield. The dealer stated that the repair would cost $1,800. The contact was informed that the failures were very common with his type of vehicle. In…

The heat does not work to control the defrost. When there is no frost it is hard to see out of the windshield. People say the blend doors are bad in the ac/heater box. *tr

The failure im having is with the blend doors, from personal experience driving in cold climates your defrost blows cold air onto the windshield making it extremely unsafe to drive the vehicle in cold climates, i was fortunate enough that i didn't wreck or hit anybody else on the road, in my honest opinion this is a serious safety issue, if you think it isn't a problem mr.chrysler i will personal drive to corporate…

Research has shown all 1999-2004 jeep grand cherokees with electronic dual climate controls will eventually require major repair in order to cure hot air/cold air blowing from vents when they're not set to do so. The cost to repair this issue, which has been known to pop up again after another 50k miles after repair, is generally $800-$1500 from a dealership. Should you opt to do this repair yourself, the entire…

Approximately 5 years ago, the heat stopped working on the passenger side of my 2001 jeep grand cherokee. Then last year, the heat and a/c stopped working completely. This makes for very dangerous driving conditions as visibility is greatly reduced at times. Its too costly for me to repair myself. It appears that this is a problem for most of these vehicles and i can't understand why something hasn't been done about…

There is an ongoing problem with jeep grand cherokee a/c blend doors from 1998 through 2005. There is a tsb issued for this problem, but it is not warranty covered after the original 36000 mile warranty. Per the tsb, the blend door assembly is poorly designed in that there is not range of travel stop on the actuator motor, causing the plastic shaft to absorb all the motor torque, eventually breaking the shaft. The…

2001 grand cherokee ltd does not have heat and a/c does not get as cold as my other cars and trucks. Dealer inspected and told me that jeep knows of problem defect with materials and design of blend doors and apparatus. Dealer wants $1900 to correct. Local a/c shop did poor job for $1000. Would like jeep to re-imburse. *tr
